Chapter 18 Spears and Shuttles

Early in the morning, on a land bun outside Gao Laozhuang, two landlords leaned against a big tree and were snoring.

"Fourth brother, someone is coming from the village!" Tu Kou, who was on guard, woke up the sleeping man with a runny nose.

They were officially arranged by Li Jiyu to keep the three local gangsters who monitored Gao Laozhuang.

Mazi was having a spring dream, but was woken up by someone. The Tuko, who had a irritable face and a clear nose, hurriedly explained, "People are coming from the village!"

When Mazi heard the words, his anger subsided a little. He turned his head to look. Sure enough, he saw a group of villagers coming towards the land. He quickly got up and kicked his subordinate next to him, "I'll go to bed, let's go!"

The three of them moved their frozen and stiff bodies for a while, and hurriedly left the earthblock and hid in a forest further away.

The villagers climbed up the landbread, Li Wu looked around and instructed: "Just here, start chopping!"

When the villagers heard this, they acted separately and began to cut down the trees on the soil buns.

Mazi, who was hiding in the distance, looked at him and couldn't help but curse: "A group of unruly people have to choose a place where I sleep to cut down trees."

After scolding, Mazi told Qing to snot, "Continue to watch those unruly people!"

After Mazi finished speaking, she lay on the ground and continued to sleep to see if she could connect her dream.

Qingniu whispered: "Fourth brother, didn't you agree to be four hours per person?"

But Mazi ignored him and went to bed.

At this time, within the earthen wall, a hundred men were barely standing, and in the middle of the yard were placed several shuttle markers brought from Liu Blacksmith.

The iron was sent over yesterday. Blacksmith Liu produced a furnace of fine iron and only made ten samples, but they were all taken by Gao Huan.

At this time, Gao Huan was erecting a few door panels in the yard and drew a figure on it as a target.

"Standing outside the line, one by one, one throws and hits the figure, the one who fails to hit the gunners!" Gao Huan pointed to the white line twenty steps away and said to the men.

The trained javeliner, who uses a special javelin, can throw enemies to death from fifty meters away, and this range can already catch up with some single bows.

Without bows and muskets, the simple javelin made has become the only long-range weapon that Gao Huan can take out at the moment.

Compared with the Tufen, what is lacking is the murderous aura after seeing blood. If the Tufen is allowed to approach directly, the villagers will most likely collapse at once.

Before the war, using javelins to kill some local gangs can not only defeat the local gangs' morale, but also make the villagers muster up the courage.

There is a Shaolin Mountain in Dengfeng, and there is a folk style of practicing martial arts. However, tenants have no time to do that, just gesture a few times during the slack farming period, and there is no foundation.

Therefore, Gao Huan did not set the standard high. If he could make a shot outside twenty steps, he would be considered qualified.

"Let's start!" Li Pingyuan put on a strong suit today and directed with his waist straight: "Yang Shulin, come first."

Yang Shulin walked out, picked up the shuttle mark on the ground, stood outside the white line, gritted his teeth and threw it hard. The javelin, which was more than one meter long, brushed through the door panel, and shot it on the earth wall behind, and the spear head was directly inserted into the wall.

I have enough strength to do farm work all year round, but I am a little less accurate.

Li Pingyuan saw that he was off the target and waved coldly: "Next!"

Yang Shulin stood on the side of the Gunners with a little embarrassed expression, and saw a refugee man step forward, pick up the shuttle flag, and hit the outside of the line. The javelin was directly hit by the wooden board and inserted it into the figure's chest.

"Okay!" Gao Huan exclaimed and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Liu Hui!" The man touched his head embarrassedly.

Gao Huan nodded and said, "Stand on the side of the Shubiao team first!"

Liu Hui hurriedly stood on the other side, and the men were tested one by one, and in the end less than half of them hit the target.

At twenty steps, throwing a stone can hit it, but the javelin still requires some skills, so Gao Huan could only barely pick fifty people.

At that moment, Gao Huan selected ten men from one hundred people and became the team leader, and organized one hundred people into five shuttle teams and five Gunner teams.

At this time, Gao Huan first arranged the training of the raft team, which was to ask the team leader to take the ten rafts and throw the shuttle flags in turn against the raised door panel.

When the raft team was divided into several groups to train, the remaining hot teams had each taken a wooden stick and barely arranged them neatly.

At this time, Gao Huan picked up a spear, stood in front of everyone, and shouted loudly: "Everyone is ready!"

After speaking, Gao Huan stomped a lunge and quickly carried out a move to lift the gun, stab the gun, and then retract the gun.

Gao Huan handed the gun to Li Pingyuan and instructed: "Disassemble it, and practice this trick today."

Li Pingyuan nodded, and then he immediately took the gun, stabbed, retracted the gun, and stabbed again in the gun technique, decomposed these actions, teaching the men to practice.

Gao Huan looked at the man who was acting with a wooden stick and a fork. He felt that the weapon must be implemented as soon as possible, so he said, "I'll go and see Liu's shop!"

After saying that, Gao Huan handed over the training to Li Pingyuan, left the fort, and went to the blacksmith shop.

When he left the gate, he saw Li Wu leading a group of people to transport a lot of wooden sticks and stakes. The wooden sticks were made of gun sticks, and the wooden stakes were nailed to the farm and used as targets for the popular team.

In actual combat, the gun rod is easily broken under the impact of external forces, so the ancient gun rod required a certain degree of flexibility.

In ancient times, gun rods were mostly made of composite materials. They were first made of hardwood as the core, wrapped with bamboo skin on the outside, then wrapped with silk on the outside of the core, and finally applied paint and were basically completed.

In addition, special tree ash wax is used as the raw material as the inner core, but this kind of tree cannot grow without ten years of effort, and is relatively rare.

There are no white wax forests around Gaolaozhuang, and there is no time to create composite gun rods, so I can only find hardwood to get it first.

Gao Huan greeted Li Wu and went to the blacksmith shop. As he approached, he heard the "Dingdangdang" iron thunder from a distance.

"Young Master!" When Liu Blacksmith saw Gao Huan, he immediately greeted him.

Gao Huan entered the shop and saw two men, sweating profusely beating weapons in the narrow space.

"How are the weapons built?" Gao Huan observed for a moment.

Liu Blacksmith also knew what happened last night. He didn't rest all night and said with red eyes: "Young Master, I have already produced a hundred embryos."

It is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled person.

Liu Blacksmith escaped from Liaodong. He was a family of more than 40 people. He was wandering inside the pass, and came to Gaolaozhuang, and even took his wife and had children.

He originally thought that the heartland of the Central Plains should be too peaceful, but he didn't expect that it would be in chaos now.

As a military family, he knew that to be peaceful, he had to have strength. Now he is also a member of Gao Laozhuang and his wife is from the Gao clan. So after he knew that Zhuangzi was threatened, he didn't bother to make money and brought two apprentices with him, and he used weapons without rest a day and night.

Gao Huan shook his head, not satisfied, "The speed is too slow. I'll find a few men to help you. Can you be faster?"

Liu Blacksmith hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If you speed up, you can't guarantee the quality."

Gao Huan thought about it and saw the black tiger's clothes that he knew that Li Jiyu's team should have relatively cold equipment and few armors.

Since this is the case, there is no need for a good gun tip, just stabbing someone to death.

"It doesn't matter if the quality is bad, just stab someone to death!" Gao Huan said coldly.

Blacksmith Liu narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Okay! Please give five helpers, I will make as many gun tips as possible!"

Gao Huan nodded when he heard this, and was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he turned his head and said, "The spear head must be made, but Master Liu must also pay attention to rest!"

Blacksmith Liu was slightly stunned. The eldest young master seemed to be gentle recently.

Before Liu's blacksmith could react, Gao Huan left the blacksmith shop and prepared to find Gao Youcai.

When he arrived at the front yard, Li Wu had already hit more than 60 wooden stakes in the yard. The Gunners were holding wooden sticks and practicing those movements repeatedly at the wooden stakes. A group of guards in uniform were watching with their arms around, holding their arms and laughing.

"It's better to water the ground and grow strength if you just do this!" Wang Si, the little leader of the hospital guard, held his knife in his arms, looked at the man who was practicing, and finally couldn't help but tease him.
